Chapter 511: The honest child Heidi is in a state of collapse
In the sky, a turbid cloud suddenly appeared.
From the appearance, it looks like a huge poisonous mushroom with an irregular surface. The gray-black color is like polluted smoke, with an ominous atmosphere.
The edges of the poisonous mushrooms were jagged and seemed to have no fixed shape, but they expanded outward at an alarming speed, devouring the surrounding clear sky.
"Almost to Cairo."
Old Hala, the leader of the camel team, said: "The impact of this battle is too wide. We are likely to encounter some peripheral monsters before entering the city."
"Don't worry, as long as we are here, we will kill as many demons as they come!" Chocolate Brother Ferrero said.
"Ha, in a place like this, strength is not as good as experience." Lao Hala snorted coldly: "There are endless demons to kill. If you get caught in the wave of demons, just wait to be dismembered!"
"Yes, Old Hala is right!"
"I won't follow the camel team without Lao Hala!"
"With Lao Hala here, we will definitely be able to enter Cairo smoothly!"
Most of the camel caravans are businessmen, and goods are always in short supply during wartime. They can make a lot of money by taking risks and going back and forth.
Therefore, before entering the city, Lao Hala was closer than their biological father!
"What this old man said makes sense. Experience is the most important thing. I have too little practical experience." Heidi whispered.
Xu Fang shook his head: "Don't belittle yourself. No matter how experienced you are, if you are not strong enough, you will still fall over. The reason why this old man said this is nothing more than to show his importance and strive for some benefits."
Almost at the same time as Xu Fang spoke, Lao Hala told the merchants that the camel team needed to return the same way.
"There are snakes and scorpions on this route. Business is valuable, but life is even more valuable, brother!" Old Harla said.
"Double the bounty!"
"I, old Hala, am not a money-grubber."
"three times!"
"Look at you, there are snakes and scorpions in front of you, poisonous ones, very scary!"
"Four times! If you don't want to, just turn back. I won't make this deal!"
"Deal." Lao Hala shook his head and sighed: "It's not because I'm greedy for your money... The main thing is that I'm already here, and I have to send you in no matter what, brother."
Heidi heard the conversation between the two and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Xu Fang smiled and said, "Not used to it?"
"A bit..." Heidi is an honest child and is completely unfamiliar with these routines.
"You'll get used to it after seeing it often. These days, to sell tea, I still have to talk about my farmer grandfather."
"Oh." Heidi nodded. Before she could finish digesting it, she heard the businessmen saying to the students from European universities:
"You are all top students from European universities. I am a businessman doing small business, and all my wealth is on this batch of goods. Can you please take care of me, please!"
The businessman's posture of bowing while sitting on the camel beast was a bit funny, and the fat on his belly was bulging.
But students in European universities are very fond of this.
"Don't worry, brother, everything is taken care of by me!"
"We are all high-level mages. Isn't it more than enough to protect your goods?"
"We are friends when we meet each other. If there is danger, we will take action!"
For a time, both parties were harmonious, and the atmosphere was extremely good.
"There shouldn't be any tricks this time, right?" Heidi looked at Xu Fang, feeling uncertain when she said this.
Xu Fang hesitated.
"Just say it, I can accept it," Heidi said.
"Then let me say that the reason why businessmen invite students from European schools to take action is, on the one hand, for safety, and on the other hand, to reasonably squeeze out the bonuses of hiring mages. Look over there."
Xu Fang pointed, and Heidi looked in the direction of his finger.
I saw a group of people from the mercenary team with straight faces, as if someone owed them two million, and they were saying things like, "Students are useless" and "If anything happens, you have to look to the mercenary team."
The heart of the honest child Heidi was greatly impacted.
"Don't be so depressed. There are still many good people in this world. For example, there is one right in front of you."
Xu Fang pointed at himself and showed a healthy smile.
Heidi: "..."
Even more frustrated!
······
The closer we got to Cairo, the damper the sand on the ground became, and the camel beast's big hooves gradually became useless, and its walking became slower.
"We'd better walk!" said Ferrero.
"No, no, no!" Lao Hala said quickly: "Snake demons and scorpion demons can sense the fluctuations of different creatures. They are not interested in camel beasts, but once they go to the ground, they will definitely chase after them!"
You can say that Lao Hala is greedy, but you cannot say that Lao Hala is good. After all, as a desert wanderer with the strength of an intermediate mage, you have to have your own abilities.
The oppressive and rolling black clouds were lying above everyone's heads. The clouds were rolling, and it seemed that heavy rain might pour down at any time and submerge the sea of sand.
There was an indescribable stench in the air. It was different from the common smell of sand and dust in the desert, but a stronger and more pungent smell.
It seemed like the smell of decay and death intertwined.
This stench irritated everyone's nostrils. What's the difference between walking in this environment and the crazy maggots in the dung sea?
"vomit!"
With a sound of retching, many women in the team took out the strange flower dew given by Ferrero and sprayed it on themselves several times.
The smell suddenly became complex and weird, making people want to sneeze.
"Everyone, be careful. There is Snake Mountain three kilometers ahead. Don't disturb them!" Lao Hala said in a low voice.
"What is Snake Mountain?" Heidi asked curiously.
"I learned it in the morning class. Snake demons are a kind of social demons. A female demon is often entangled with seven or eight weak male demons, and several female demons will entangle a powerful male demon at the same time.
The female demons at the top and the male demons at the bottom are not interested in demons. They either choose to make do or entangle with each other randomly."
Xu Fang said casually, pointing to a certain direction in the distance.
Heidi has good eyesight, but at this time she would rather be short-sighted and wear beer-bottomed glasses!
Snakes!
A whole weird hill made up of snakes!
Its outer contour is wriggling, and from time to time there are things rolling and falling from it.
When Heidi thought of the scene of the snakes constantly entangled in what Lao Hara had just described, she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to take out her brain and wash it clean!
"Snake demons are very sensitive to smell, but don't worry, we are against the wind, I guess they won't..."
On the other side, Lao Hara's eyes widened instantly before he finished speaking, and his face turned extremely pale.
What did he see?
The snake mountain dispersed and was rushing in this direction!
"How, how is it possible!"
Old Hara could not accept everything in front of him, and suddenly reacted:
"I understand! It's that kind of strange flower dew! That breath will attract all the female snakes, and when the female snakes come, the male snakes will follow!"
Ferrero certainly didn't want to take the blame, and cursed.
"Stop talking nonsense, how much strange flower dew do you have, give it all to me!" The hired captain Chad said coldly, and summoned his armored beast at the same time.
"I'm sorry, old friend!"
He stroked the head of the armored beast, and the people at the scene instantly understood what he meant. Chad clearly wanted to use the summoned beast that shared life and death in exchange for the safety of everyone!
"Old captain!" Someone couldn't bear it.
"No need to say more! Once you accept the task and get the money, you must be loyal to your duties!"
Chad took a deep breath and was about to pour the strange flower dew on the armored beast.
At this moment, Xu Fang's voice sounded on the side: "Wait a minute!"
